Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Halloween is back in Springfield! Yes, the water is murky, the screen is slightly darker, monsters and minions are roaming our towns…is there anything better than Halloween in our pocket-sized towns? Of course, by now, we all know that a new event means a new excuse for EA to fill our stores with limited-time premium items to tempt us.
As we all know, that limited-time label can tempt us to grab everything in sight because it’ll be gone soon. But don’t sweat it! That’s where we come in to tell you what’s worth those donuts and what you might want to hold off on.
Wondering if you should add Tween Lit Inc and Slick to your Springfield? Well before you hit that confirm button let’s break down the pros and cons of adding this Tween duo to your town…
Building/Decoration: Tween Lit Inc
Character: Slick
Donut Cost: 150 Donuts
Size: 8×10
Earns: $135, 15xp/4hrs
Conform-O-Meter: Consumerism +10
Can Be Placed:grass|pavement|boardwalk|pier|dirt|Krustyland Road
Leaves stores November 14th
Pros
-Comes with a questline
-Will Use Tween Lit Inc for tasks
-Tween Lit Inc is animated when in use, lights turn on
Cons
-Not voiced
-Will not help with the event, no task at Holy Forge no currency earning tasks
Helpful Tip:
Part 2 of his questline….while Slick will NOT earn event currency the kids required to send for part 2 WILL earn event currency. So when you reach part 2 of his questline DO NOT DO SLICK’S TASK. Just let me roam idle around Springfield. But send the kids over and over again on the task, this will allow you to earn massive amounts of event currency (until it’s patched that is).
If you miss it on Part 2, it’s available again for Part 3.
Final Thought
Premium:
This is your standard premium combo these days. Random character and building for 150 donuts. Although in this case (Aside from the questline tip) this character adds no benefit for the event itself. So if you like Slick and the look of the building, pick it up…otherwise pass.
Freemium:
I’d pass on this one. Save your donuts for better characters, or even just ones that help with the event.
Of course, in the end, it’s your decision, we can only tell you what we would or wouldn’t do…and as a premium player, I’m on the fence (I like the look of the building, but that’s about it). But whatever you decide, just make sure you make your final decision before it leaves our games for good (or for now).
Here’s a look at his tasks…
